Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. I hit the ground this morning with a heavy Heart for no good reason at all, so my time with the Living God this morning was Therapeutic more than anything else. He’s the best Heart Specialist of all and He can lift a heavy Heart in a heartbeat when I surrender it to Him. With just a little time spent at the foot of the Cross and a long talk with the One Who died for me, and my Heart overflows with Love and Compassion all over again and I’m excited about this new day. Throw in a good cup of coffee and a view to die for as the sun rises for the first time on this first day of a new month, and I am MORE than good to go. He is my Rest, my Shield, my Comforter, my Rock, my Hope, and the Love of my life. He is the ONLY way to turn when I have a “Heart problem”! Isn’t that the way you see it too?

Sometimes it makes no sense at all to the mind why the Heart gets heavy but you can be sure the Enemy is behind it all. He comes to rob, kill, and destroy and he works 24/7 to devour whoever and whatever he can. Sometimes we wake up with a heavy Heart that was been “worked on” while we slept, and sometimes a heavy Heart creeps in as we go about our day when we allow our Focus to shift from God Almighty to ourselves…and it takes over before you even realize it. A “Heart problem” can rock the boat in every area of Life, so it’s not something to ignore when it shows up. It’s as if we’re suddenly blinded to all the Beauty around us and we forget to count our Blessings, and before we know it…we’re feeling blue. But the Beauty and the Blessings never disappear AND it always comes down to a “Heart problem” when we fail to look for them. Sometimes it’s so easy to turn to other people and blame them for why we’ve lost our Joy, or we blame our circumstances for our downcast Hearts. BUT NO ONE AND NOTHING HAS THE POWER TO ROB US OF OUR JOY. That’s something we willingly surrender instead…when we focus MORE on ourselves than we do on God Almighty. Sometimes we even wish life away and hope for a “new day” as if time is the culprit and as if in time our feelings will change. But the new day WILL BE just like the old day if we don’t address the “Heart problem” with the only Heart Healer ever known to mankind.

I’ve addressed the “Heart problem” that showed up at my door this morning like an unwelcome thief looking to rob, kill, and destroy, and my Heart Specialist set me on my road to recovery all over again. Just like any other heart specialist, I had to take the time and make the effort to GO TO Him for Therapy. My Heart Specialist is always with me and He always looks out for me, but He doesn’t do “house calls”. Instead, He looks for ME TO TURN to Him and He looks for me to DESIRE to be in unison with His will for my Life, and when I do, I get a good dose of Spiritual Medicine, and Healing kicks in. And before I can say “Amen” my heart is 100% all over again.

How about you?
